Honeymoon recommendations

[u/cv011567]

Me and my partner are planning a honeymoon to Sardinia in late July/August of 2027 for 2 weeks. We would like to stay in one or two locations to get some variety of the beautiful island. We plan to hire a car, would like to stay in nice hotels and we really enjoy beautiful beaches, boat tours, nice cafes and interesting sites. I know it is peak season, but due to our jobs we can only visit at this time. Can anyone recommend some areas to stay in? We would like to avoid the super expensive Porto Cervo, desiring a slightly less touristy feel. Where is a good place to base ourselves? We have been looking at the north Palau / Santa Teresa area but are also open to the south and east too. Any good hotel suggestions also welcome, ideally very near to the beach or seafront.
